Financial data

http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/

USM now has the smallest athletics budget in Scheduling Alliance USA.

On the other hand, USM has the second highest revenue after you exclude student fees and general fund subsidies.

Seems like the University and its students are getting a free ride on the backs of the people buying stuff and making donations.

Re: Financial data

Actually, I hear that students at FAU pay way less in fees than USM students do. However, they have over 50 thousand students. So, yes, they pull in a lot more student money, but each student is actually "taxed" less than ours.

I can see where it might work out that way. Wouldn't hurt to increase enrollment at USM, but there's definitely a downside to that, too.

Re: Financial data

We are Sears......we should have shifted our business model in the late 90s when we still had brand recognition and we didn’t because we are lazy and had zero foresight from those in charge. Now, we have tired real estate holdings in the worst location and everyone knows nobody is buying what we sell because they can get a better product somewhere else. We have nothing to leverage to return to profitability.

This program is done. Everyone knows it. Those that don’t and still have hope are a big part of the reason we are where we are today. USM athletics has an extremely high chance of disappearing and going defunct at our current financial pace within the next 5-7 years.

The complacency seen circa 2000 was sickening at the time, and is even more so in hindsight.

The university as a whole is getting better, albeit in fits and starts.

Building something nice for the sororities was absolutely essential. Women steer the money and the men nowadays.

Other stuff is getting built. We'd like for it to be stuff for the football team, but USM has always had to sort of fight to establish a purpose where it can.

The new engineering programs are a good addition. South Mississippi is growing.

Will this ever translate into anything good in athletics? Probably not. Sports in general are sort of fading out of significance.
